Linking local files from dropbox to shotgun etc

heya, just wondering whether some of you guys would have any pointers for using shotgun? especially alongside dropbox and/or deadline?

we just started up a new big project for us, and from what we’ve heard, shotgun was the way to go (for asset/production tracking). so i managed to have a quick play with its api, and what i’ve read with deadline’s pre and post scripting abilities, im pretty confident we’ll give it a good go, from the 3d assets to the comping.

ive been asked about its limitations in linking to local files, and more specifically, being able to use it offsite, and im thinking dropbox will help overcome this.

Does anyone have any experience with this setup? Do’s and donts? I’m fairly new in the game, hence, being more of a spectator over the last year or so on here, but i’m damn eager to learn.

cheers guys
